From the article (in case it gets taken down):

"a conversation about source code files for various products from antivirus companies Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro. The chat is between Fxmsp members"

    Symantec (also owns the trade-mark Norton)
    McAfee
    Trend Micro

Funny, I posted[0] this 4 days ago and it didn't get picked up... Here's the link to the article I referenced to for those interested [1]

Funnier is how one article has the hackers' chat logs with the names of the victim antivirus companies and the other doesn't.

Gizmodo [US] also gave the names of the victims: https://gizmodo.com/antivirus-makers-confirm-and-deny-gettin...

For a broader picture: 1. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-selli... 2. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-details-e...

So basically every AV vendor denied getting hacked
